Most poeple have no idea just how nasty India is in reality.

See for yourself.

WARNING - the photos are graphic, very much so....

And the pot pointing to the kettle can’t be missed.

My husband and I lived and worked in Saudi Arabia for five years. One of the places we visited was India.

Poor parents USED to mutilate their children to make them better beggars. HORRIBLE disfigurements: facial, cut off arms and legs. DREADFUL.

Somewhere in the 90's, I think, the Indian government made that drastic disfigurement ILLEGAL.
Here's the kicker:
Those same parents were NOT allowed any facial disfigurement but they WERE allowed to cut off ONE arm, BELOW the elbow and ONE leg below the knee. All else was verboten.
I doubt anyone here would believe that but it is the SAD FACT OF LIFE FOR THE POOR IN INDIA.

It's all a matter of perspective, isn't it?

China, India and Pakistan are desperately poor, brutally overcrowded countries. I doubt most of the people can do any better. I bet the people - that make it to adulthood - have incredible immune systems.

I dated an Indian woman (who was raised in Guyana S.A.), years ago. She was not dirty anywhere that I could find. :)
